I understand he's probably a AAAA player - but this guy has signed with us three years in row why not promote him as a reward for a great minor league season...
Ed, I never understand the logic of the Mets promoting some and leaving behind guys like Feliciano, McNabb, and Bostick. All deserve a trip to Queens to replace players that won't be on this team next year.
